I did not think it would make a whole bunch of difference talking to the Wellness Coach. Although I have had a career recommending life coaches, therapists, physicians, community resources, government assistance, and hook ups among other things, the idea of trusting some stranger to build accountability seemed a bit weird.
I had to remove the old skool ideas of coaching. I can't say I felt motivated by the life coach, but it helped to talk through what I was going to do. After the talk, identifying clearly what concrete steps I would make seemed powerful in itself.
As I thought about my plans and sorted through what steps to take, I felt affirmed that I knew what to do next. For the rest of the day, I mused about what the coming weeks might be able to unfold.
For the coming month, I will focus on working out at least four to five times per week, alternating with walking/running and biking along with weights and jump rope. Not a bad plan. I won't win any marathons. I will get started toward the goals I want to achieve. First major goal: Lose 30 lbs.
